OK, so is it born in a city, grew up in a city, or boxed in a city.

I've seen two different places claim Sugar Ray Robinson (who wouldn't) & Chicago claim Andrzej Golata - which is fine as he fought many bouts there.

But is Sugar Ray Robinson Georgia, Detroit or New York?

Can I claim Joe Calzaghe as he was born in London?

Can I not claim Lloyd Honeyghan as he was born in Jamaica (even though he went to school with my brother in law in SE London)?

Help.....
